INTRODUCTION
A science club is an out-of-school-hours club that offers children
the chance to do science-related activities that extend and enhance the science
they experience in the classroom.
Each science club is different, as the club programme reflects the
interests of the children, the club organiser and the facilities available.
Most clubs use the opportunity to explore areas of science not covered by the
curriculum and to give the club members plenty of opportunities to do practical
science.
A science club can be run in a lunch break or after school. Some
organisations are able to offer special Saturday clubs.
A science club session typically lasts for about 45 minutes. In
this time, the members might complete a challenge, plan a science project or
have a special scientific visitor.
SCIENCE CLUB
Science
clubs are a means of getting outside the classroom and interacting with the
natural environment. These interactions can be beneficial for the community and
the students. Science clubs which are based on a combination of experimentation
and philanthropy make learning a real life experience that leaves positive
impressions on both students and their communities.
In view of
their nature and purposes served, the science clubs can be classified as
General club and Special club. The scope an field of General clubs in science
is quite general and broad. These are not specifically tied to a single
purpose, branch or area of science.
These are
meant for meeting the requirements of the maximum number of students of varying
scientific interests and aptitudes. Such types of clubs are usually named as
Science Club, Science Association, Biological Association, Physics or Chemistry
Society, etc.
On the other
hand, the special clubs of science are quite specific and special in the sense
that they are meant for serving some specific purpose and specialized interests
of their members. These clubs are usually named as photographic club, Radio
club, Nature study club, Astronomical society, Wildlife society, Aviation club,
etc.
The decision
to establish a particular type of club should be taken very cautiously by
taking care of the special or general requirements of the institution and the
students, resources available and competencies necessary for running the club.
As a general consideration however, in the case of secondary institutions.
It is better
to go for the establishment of a General type club as it may serve more useful
purpose in terms of coming the study of science more attractive, interesting
and useful from the viewpoints of maximum number of students and classes of the
school and moreover it can suit well the resources and environment available in
our schools.
OBJECTIVES
1. To
provide proper incentive and inspiration for the pursuit of scientific
knowledge in vigorous way by broadening their scientific outlook.
2. To
provide opportunities for bringing school close to the society and to acquaint
the people with the services and contribution of the science in their life.
3. To
develop among the student the spirit and attitude of healthy competition for
the individual and social cause.
4. To help
the students in imbibing the habit of self- reliance, self-dependence and love
for manual work.
5. To
provide opportunity for the development of the constructive, explorative and
inventive faculties of the students.
6. To make
the students understand the values of time and to help them in the proper
utilization to their leisure hours.
7. To
create interest in latest inventions and discoveries of science in various
fields and to get acquainted with the life history and contributions of great
scientists.
8. To
develop students, interest and participation in the practical application of
the knowledge related to different branches of sciences.
9. To
create interest in scientific facts and events related to one's surroundings.
10. To
develop training in scientific method of problem solving.
CONCLUSION
From this assignment we can conclude that we can get
an idea about science club and its objectives. Also get the brief about science
club activities among schools and students are how interested in this club.
About the role of teacher among these club and its activities.
